While it is estimated that Yobe State will generate N1.132b revenue from livestock tax, the Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers’ Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has set conditions for the collection of such tax.
The administration of taxes, according to the state government, will improve and raise the security situation and internally generated revenue.
The president of KACRAN, Khalil Bello, disclosed that: “The State Government should reciprocate by providing us grazing reserves with the restoration of all cattle routes.”
He noted that the herders were in full support of taxing their livestock provided that the basic needs of grazing and water points for cattle and other livestock would be sustained.
